Enhance Your Style of Living in Ontario, California

Cost of Living

Living the Southern California lifestyle can be a pricey proposition, but it doesn’t have to be if you make Ontario home base for your California adventure. In Ontario, rent is still affordable, and homeownership is still within reach – without sacrificing the amenities or attractions of our coastal counterparts.

With a population of 167,000, Ontario is a growing community where residents enjoy world-class shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as award-winning wineries, all while soaking up California’s signature sunshine.

The median house price in Ontario is nearly 14 percent lower than in Los Angeles, while the average rent for a 2-bedroom apartment in our city is nearly 51 percent lower than in Los Angeles. Even our sales tax is less than Los Angeles and many other Southern California communities.

With all the money residents save by living here, they can still afford to, well, live. Go out. Have fun. Enjoy life.

Catch an Ontario Reign hockey game, an Ontario Fury soccer match, or a Los Angeles Lakers game at the 11,000-seat Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario – or score tickets for concerts by famous bands and performing artists that frequently perform there.

Residents can also stroll along Euclid Avenue, the city’s historic, wide-set thoroughfare, or visit a tasting room at one of the Cucamonga Valley’s distinguished family owned and operated wineries.
